Why should I use a permalink in Canvas instead of uploading a document?
Answer
Faculty can use a permalink to provide access to materials to their students through Canvas. Always use a permalink instead of the URL from the browser's address bar.
Why not just upload or email the document?
You may be in violation of copyright law or license restrictions if you post content without appropriate authorization or permission. Permalinks are also preferred because they can help the library track usage; this allows us to purchase the right resources for you.
